Lady Babs (M)
[P]
Three-time C&D winner last season, including this race off 6 lb higher. Has failed to fire this term but still no surprise were she to stage a revival.

Conor Rabbitt | A Crook | 12 | 76.2 kg |

Disco Annie (M)
[P1T]
Dual C&D winner last season but unable to make the same sort of impact this time round, including over fences. Needs a return to Carlisle to help spark a revival.

William Maggs | R Menzies | 8 | 75.3 kg |

Holly Bird (M)
FAV
[P]
Got off the mark in emphatic fashion at Newcastle (2½m, good to soft), travelling powerfully and quickening clear on the run-in. Looks speedy enough to cope with the drop back in trip and a 6 lb rise may underestimate her.

B S Hughes | A M Thomson | 7 | 74.8 kg |

7/4

| 4th | 4 | — |
Vanilla Dancer (M)
Placed twice at the turn of the year before snapping a losing run in 5-runner Catterick mares' handicap (2m, soft) 4 weeks ago. Likely to give another good account.

Danny McMenamin | C Grant | 7 | 74.4 kg |

Moonlightinthepark (M)
[T]
Runner-up sole start in Irish points but yet to make an impact over hurdles, including well held on 21f Ludlow handicap debut in a first-time tongue tie (retained) last month. Quickly drops back in trip.
|
Craig Nichol | O Greenall & J Guerriero | 5 | 73.9 kg |

Georgie's Malt (M)
Modest form in bumpers/maiden hurdles but stands a more realistic chance now handicapping. Whether this drop back in trip suits remains to be seen, though.
|
Callum Bewley | Ewan Whillans | 6 | 71.7 kg |

Stage Lady (M)
[T]
Poor form at best in maiden hurdles in Ireland for Norman Lee and pulled up in 2 maiden points there this winter. Hardly an obvious one on those exploits but joined a shrewd yard and worth a second look in the betting on handicap debut.

Alan Doyle | I Jardine | 9 | 69.4 kg |

Queen Roslyn (M)
Progressed well as a stayer on the Flat last year, winning 3 handicaps. Has yet to make a significant impact over hurdles but likely found 2m at Catterick a bit sharp when sixth of 13 on handicap debut in this sphere. Today's stiffer test …

Sean Quinlan | B Ellison | 5 | 69.4 kg |

9/2

| 2nd | 9 | — |
Out On Her Own (M)
Point winner. Promise when fourth in an Aintree bumper last spring but has yet to translate that to hurdling, including in a couple of handicaps in the autumn. A 4-month break needs to have a positive effect.

Peter Kavanagh | Mrs Dianne Sayer | 6 | 65.3 kg |

Betting forecast: Holly Bird (7/4), Disco Annie (4/1), Vanilla Dancer (4/1), Queen Roslyn (9/2), Georgie's Malt (11/1), Out On Her Own (20/1), Moonlightinthepark (25/1), Lady Babs (25/1), Stage Lady (33/1)
